Thank you again to our key sponsors EA Associates and Dynamic Discs. We look forward to making this event even bigger and better next year!

Threw 2 discs in the river on 11 during practice today. Red PDGA Rogue visible in the water near the 2nd pin placement. Other disc is a Titanium Undertaker in silver/blue that floated downstream. Both should have my name and number. Hopefully someone is bringing waders tomorrow!! Thanks.

Fellow discgolfers, of course there is always last minute information.
For those planning to practice at Kiwanis on Friday May 24, we are asking that you DO NOT park at "St. Charles School" simply because school is still in progress.
There are approx 15 parking spots on the south side of the course off of Trafalgar Street (Hole #6), there are another 8 spots right beside hole #1 at the skate park.
As well "Kiwanis Park Drive" has plenty space.

Happy chucking, see you guys tomorrow.

Thank you for your cooperation.
Ken

As one of the 5 fpo, I'm in favor of having a card of 5 so we all can play together. Just my vote.

Ken Leneve   May 23, 2019 at 4:39pm

Thanks Tiger, we were already discussing that scenario.

Hope to make it next year!

Sorry to hear that Ryan. It’s taken care of.

David stewart   May 22, 2019 at 11:05am

Sorry buddy but we will see you next year for sure

Ryan Rosner   May 24, 2019 at 1:18pm

Thanks guys. Reall appreciate it. Have a great event. See you next time around! :-)

Aaron Nitz    May 20, 2019 at 1:52am

Getting excited to come over! I do have one question...for tee times on Sunday, is it a fair assumption that the ams will tee off early, leading to the open players last? So if I"m playing in a pro master40, will that tee time be in the 12:00 range? I realize that my exact tee time can't be known until scores are done, but in anticipation of the day, I'd like to know an estimate of when the different divisions will be teeing of that day. Any guesses?

Hi Aaron. That is a fair assumption to make regarding tee times. See you next week!

Sarah DeMar   May 23, 2019 at 4:56pm

Actually I think the complete opposite would be better. Many of the pros are traveling more than a few hours to get there and would really appreciate getting on the road much earlier Sunday afternoon and would therefore appreciate the early tee times Sunday morning. The women typically have the early teetimes at the bigger events.....

Layouts for Kiwanis and Thames Valley are just being finalized and will be available in the next couple of days.

5 - long - all players will be playing from short tee
6 - mid
7 - long - par 4 from long tee

Hi Patrick. I'm in the process of putting the layouts into Udisc. Baskets were just moved today and the layouts will be approved either tomorrow or tonight.

Leo Zdanov    May 6, 2019 at 11:22pm

Question regarding the Kiwanis Flex Start on may 19. Me and my buddy are interested. Do we show up at the park and pay cash or is there a registration online. Since its both of us will we be paired with 2 randoms to make a group of 4? If we would prefer to start at 10AM how would we book that? Thank you

Dave Northrup   May 6, 2019 at 11:34pm
